I got moved and getting back in to the few tanks I have left :sad
Anyway I kept the 65g planted.
Now the stock is
Pair of spawning kribs
5-3" rainbows
6-2" congo tetras
1-5" "roseline shark" the new red striped silver barb out of india
2-dwarf siam botia-loaches
10 1.5" juvinile bolivion rams
4-4" silver arrowannas ( I know but I just love baby arros)
1 palm sized wild caught geophagus jurupari (truely awesome !)
1-6" mango pleco
10 or so ottos
tank 65g
3-4" flourite
120w noflo lighting
hot magnum with the micron in place
cascade 1000
powerhead for extra flow
The tank has lots of old established plants in deep flourite that are very hard to up root.
I'm sick of my small fish! I've had a hundred fish and the tank still looks empty.The rainbow are going as I lost my show males to old age I think and cant look at the rest of them anymore.
The jurupari is the direction I want to go in she was bought two weeks ago and has not uprooted anything she is so docile the neon tetra sized botia are stealing food out of her mouth and she could careless
The bolivion rams will stay and I'll thin them out when they are interested in spawing. The arros will go at 8" or when chasing smaller fish in there defense they stay nice and docile if they are never feed feeders and fed pellets only.
I need some sugestions I'm looking for two diff SA cichlids or simmilar that dont eat plants and stay around palm sized.
A friendly loach or simmilar that grows larger than 5" that wont eat little fish.
Was thinking altum angels or chealceus (sp?) that big tetra.
But it all variations of a silver theme :sad
Skies the limit I can get anything I work for a 450 tank 20,000 gallon importer.
Basicaly what larger fish have worked for you and what has not and why.
Anything that will get to large for my tank in a year or two will be considered as I have many friends with BIG tanks and room to spare.
I need Ideas please
